Does fast food chain where you live serve local menu?

[Ovisterra]

It happens sometimes. We're a forgiving bunch, except when it comes to tea.

You referring to the 1980 McDonald's riots when the chain served sweet ice tea in the UK ?

I don't live in the UK. ಠ_ಠ

I got pulled over for being white leaving a black neighborhood once ( the assumption by the police is I am there to buy drugs), I roll down the window the office takes one whiff and ask BBQ ? I say yes. He says have a nice evening your free to go.

Yeah. If a cop has a hair across his ass you get the "What are you doing in the number streets?" spiel. It can get bothersome.

Normally it is a fairly easy bust, and the locals dislike when whites from other places come in to buy drugs. Really is unfair to force poor neighborhoods to suffer most of the social ills of drug dealing.

Well, McDonalds serves Ruis Feast here in Finland but it's available nationally so I don't know if it really count as local menu.

Fast food chains in my country, unfortunately, are local menus.

Mustard on hamburgers is common where I live. I hate mustard, though.

The first McDonald's in our neck of the woods was at Celeron amusement park near Jamestown NY, on Chautauqua lake, l963 I think it was. THe burger came with a pickle, ketchup and mustard, and some chopped onion on it. No options, they were all the same.

15 cent burgers, 11 cent fries, 17 cent shakes.

The local fast food menu item of note is the loose meat sandwich (AKA tavern or Maid-Rite).

The local place has been here since the 30s. Great little local family business.

My old local chinese place used to give out 2 lbs of rice in the takeaway box when you ordered from them. That was fun. Buy yourself dinner and you've got enough for lunch the next day as well.

Is this IC or OOC?

ICly Radiatia has this.

OOCly there are things like the Kiwiburger at McDonalds.

Which reminds me of something which really annoyed me - why do McDonald's in New Zealand have a "Tastes of America" going, as if the USA is some exotic country who's food differs greatly to regular McDonald's. It makes no sense to me. McDonald's is the quintessential American food.

Points and laughs at the silly person who's been here since 2011 and yet asks a NOOB question.

Aside from all of them insisting that their meat is Irish and not sawdust, not really.

They did once introduce the Belgo Burger at McDonald's doubt if it's still being sold though.

Wich is basically just a hamburger with a Belgian touch.

Sloppy joes have sauce in them. These don't.

Why would you eat those without sauce. You weridos.

Well this could have been redirected from an IC forum. Or Rad could just be throwing convention to the wind in the face of an overwhelming desire to show off his IC culinary delights?

The wiki image looks disgusting either way. :/

[Duvniask]

So, are there local menus in mega fast food chain anywhere else?

Maybe in some instances, but for the most part not, from what I have seen.

[Serrland]

Hawaii. The McDs and Burger Kings have Spam on their menu.

And for people retching after reading that, people *love* Spam in Hawaii. It's the state with possibly the largest Spam consumption per capita.

Good for them, too. Spam is great.

[Ashmoria]

Ha... fast food can pass as a date here too, you bring a girl to KFC, McDonals, etc. then go to the movie.

In Korea the strangest thing I ever experienced was waiting an hour to get a table at Pizza hut.
It was a sit down restaurant, waiter takes your order the whole nine.

my husband tells stories about the salad bar at pizza huts in china. that "one trip" thing is taken to a fine art of salad architecture as they try to pile on the maximum amount on that one plate. I didn't know that Chinese people liked salad but they sure do like a challenge.

I'm trying to imagine a sloppy joe without sauce and I just can't quite manage to wrap my mind around it.

[Frenequesta]

Where I live, whatever fast food restaurants serve are the local menu.

[Churchilland]

McDonalds do serve British-y Ice-Creams, for example, they contain chocolates and sweets at certain times of the year that are associated with the sweets (eg Easter = Creme Egg, Christmas = Chocolate Orange)

[Vietnam]

I remember the McDonalds in Korea would serve bulgogi burgers, and the burgers there were a lot smaller than the ones here in America. They also tasted better, imo. It was like marinated Korean bbq made into a burger patty I think instead of a regular old burger patty.

Ireland.

Contrary to popular belief, we actually take our tea more seriously than the Brits.

It's a hamburger that hasn't been squashed into a patty. You can imagine a hamburger without sloppy joe sauce I hope.
